Ochronosis is a disease characterized by the accumulation of homogentisic acid.

Alcaptonuria is a specific genetic defect that causes ochronosis.[1]

General

It is subclassified as:

  • Endogenous (genetic).
  • Exogenous.

The endogenous form is genetic and autosomal recessive.[2]

Gross

  • Tissue with blue-grey discolourization.[3]
  • Dark urine (after exposure to sunlight).

Microscopic

Features:

  • Deposits of (acellular) brown pigment (H&E sections) - key feature.
    • May be dark magenta.
